Excerpt from Case Teaching in Surgery The following histories of cases have been collected and printed to facilitate the case method of teaching in surgery at the Harvard Medical School. Dr. Blake has for three years found that in the latter part of the last year in the course in surgical instruction this method of teaching has served to assemble the more or less disjointed knowledge that the students have acquired in the various fundamental and applied courses. The writers believe that the case method needs wider recognition in the art of teaching surgery. There are many and varied advantages in the method. It gives the instructor a boundless amount of mate rial; he may utilize all his histories in private and hospital practice; he may use the histories of cases that have been under the care of other surgeons; he may present cases that illustrate the variations in the common forms of disease; he may collect rare and unique examples of disease; he may present histories that are complete or incomplete; and he may, if he chooses, omit important details from the history of a case.
